AI-Powered Short Film Exploration

​

I'm currently developing a short cinematic film that pushes the boundaries of storytelling using the latest in AI and machine learning techniques. Inspired by car-centric classics like Locke, Duel, and the evocative worlds of Simon Stålenhag, this project fuses traditional narrative with cutting-edge technology.

My workflow begins with detailed storyboarding, evolving into animatics as I experiment with new creative pipelines. Leveraging tools such as ComfyUI and custom-trained LoRAs, I’m exploring how AI can enhance visual storytelling and streamline production in Unreal Engine.

Story Synopsis

 

The film follows Rachel, a lone driver navigating rural landscapes while entangled in a series of tense phone calls. After learning her estranged sister Lily is critically ill, Rachel is forced to confront painful memories of a fractured childhood and a betrayal that shattered their bond. As she races against time to reach Lily, Rachel must also evade a mysterious, menacing van-her past and present colliding on the open road. Beneath the suspense, the story is a deeply human journey of guilt, redemption, and the hope for reconciliation, all set against a backdrop of isolation and pursuit.

• AI-driven film production (ComfyUI, LoRA training)

• Storyboarding and animatic creation

• Cinematic storytelling in Unreal Engine

• Integrating narrative depth with technical innovation​
